The Ukrainian masterstroke will probably go the way of all those other masterstrokes. From Simplicius at simplicius76.substack.com:
Today Ukraine made another major attempt at taking down the Kerch bridge, resulting in its most miserable failure so far.

I’m no structural engineer, but Ukraine claimed to have ‘damaged’ an underwater piling that’s critical to one of the Kerch’s main spans:
The attack featured several waves of drones, the first of which tried to bypass Russian perimeter defenses in the form of water barriers by blowing them up. There is some dispute over what ‘object’ Ukraine actually hit the bridge with: Ukraine claims they spent months secretly delivering 1,000kg+ of explosives to the bottom of the piling, while some Russian sources claim this is a lie and that the bridge was hit with another garden variety sea drone, though it is not visible in the footage above. Other sources like Oleg Tsarev yet say the new Ukrainian underwater Toloka drone was used, shown here:

Crimean Bridge is intact. SBU is lying as usual
➖”Ukraine shows an attempt to blow up the Crimean Bridge and claims that more than a ton of explosives were attached to one of the underwater supports of the bridge. The SBU is lying, – notes Oleg Tsarev .
➖”According to my information, it was an underwater drone attack. You can see it in the video, which I will not publish, if you look closely. The drone was clearly small, the power of the explosion was very small, the SBU’s goal was exclusively PR and recording a video of the explosion. It is not for nothing that it ends BEFORE all the “steam” has gone – the damage is purely cosmetic.
▪️ The bridge is functioning normally, cars are driving from Crimea and to Crimea, there is zero damage .”
Saw a funny photochop of medals the bridge has won for withstanding attacks.
How they hunger for that $75 trillion of RF assets and the gold that has been missing since the Bolsheviks has never been found.
Congratulations faculty lounge as Russia now has the best land military in the world, so much for EU Reich rump vassals and Neocon artists hatred.
Have another meeting in Vilnius, where Napoleon had a shindig before marching his 600,000 in, 30,000 crawled back out.
